I take that's a Nay then.

Are there any films worth watching these days?

(considering the extortionate ticket price)

I dare say some people will enjoy the movie but I'm not one of them.

What is the basic premise of this one then? Original Arnie one was good.

A group of questionable and unconnected individuals are put on an alien planet as prey for Predators.

Get him to the Greek is quite funny-but not as good as i thought it would be-good cameos and still worth watching though...
Saw an advert for the new Predator film which looked quite good(know its going to be no patch on the original though),so i will take a look...
Whilst in the cinema though,saw some posters for the Expendables which looks like an homage to the old school action movies of the 80's and 90's.
Awesome cast-Schwarzenegger,Willis,Stallone,Statham,Rourke,Jet Li,Lundgren and loads more...Know they couldnt act their way out of a paper bag,but just hope its not going to be a pile of chod...

Adrian Brody as a crack mercenary - oh god give me strength...

The doctor twist was quite good.

What the hell....I mean SERIOUSLY... WHAT THE HELL was the whole Laurence Fishburne thing all about? There has to be some deleted scenes to explain that section..

I thought the predator/s were amazingly well done. I guess they were proper suits rather than CGI. Top notch and genuinely scary at times.

I've seen Predator films before... I know they are hunters.... can you PLEASE stop reminding me they're hunters please please PLEASE.

I watched Predators last night and I was expecting a bag of sh*te but it was actually pretty watchable. Ok lead actor was not the greatest pick - was wondering where I knew him from and looking at IMDB it must be King Kong.

The weapons they had were laughable - that AA12 auto shotgun Royce had up to the twin MP5Ks that Danny Trejo was sporting akimbo. Damn he looks old now - always remember his character in Desperado with the throwing knives

And yep Fishbourne had lasted 10 seasons but got killed by the first Pred he met lol.

Can anyone tell me how the Preds ship took off at the end with 2 preds dead and 1 on the ground? Remote control or did Royce fly it and jump out
